My Name
​
I was named after my Great-Great-Great-Grandpa, Frank Lincoln Gutchess and my Dad, Kristopher Daniel Schondelmeyer. Please read about both of them below.
Frank Lincoln Gutchess
​​
My great-great-great-grandpa on my mommy's side was Frank Lincoln Gutchess, who was born way back in 1865. He was married to Lida Mae DeVillbis of the famous DeVillbis Company, in Toledo, OH. It is reported that he was quite the businessman and eventually went on to run the DeVillbis Company. They had three children, my great-great-grandpa, Allen DeVillbis Gutchess, and his two sisters, Helen Gutchess and Edith Gutchess.
​
I don't really know much else about him, except that he gave me my cool, presidential sounding name.
Kristopher Daniel Schondelmeyer
​​
My daddy is Kristopher Daniel Schondelmeyer, who was born way back in 1983 in Sedalia, MO. He is married to my beautiful mommy, Abby Louisa Schondelmeyer.
​
Kristopher Daniel is an extremely intelligent man. He serves as Pastor/Head of Staff of the Presbyterian Church of Deep Run in the Presbytery of Philadelphia. My daddy holds an M.Div. from Eden Seminary (St. Louis), and Graduate Certificates in Executive Leadership, Engaged Compassion, and Public Management from McCormick Seminary, Claremont School of Theology, and the Truman School of Public Affairs at the University of Missouri, respectively. Kristopher Daniel also holds a Doctorate in Contextual Leadership with a concentration in Religion and Public Policy from Palmer Theological Seminary of Eastern University, which means he is an expert in ticking people off at Thanksgiving dinner. As a survivor of clergy sexual abuse in the PC(USA) which occurred in his youth, my daddy served as a member of the PCUSA General Assembly Survivors of Sexual Misconduct Task Force. I am very proud that he has successfully advocated for national policy changes, and is passionate about helping the PC(USA) to become a church that is truly safe and sacred space for all...including precious little ones like me.
